If you have zypper installed, could you send the output of the following command:

Code: Select all

zypper repos -d

it will tell us what repos you have and which ones are enabled. Thanks.

I think we have the package names incorrect for sles 11 in our install scripts. Try changing line 26 like so:

Code: Select all

From
zypper --non-interactive install autoconf gcc glibc libmcrypt-devel make libopenssl-devel sudo sysstat xinetd bc
To:
zypper --non-interactive install autoconf gcc glibc libmcrypt-devel make openssl-devel sudo sysstat xinetd bc

Unfortunately this does not resolve the libmcrypt package, which does appear to be named correctly. It does seem that you are using satallite\spacewalk servers to internally house your packages. Can you check and be sure if you have altered either package name, and if they currently exist within your systems?

What script do I need to change?

[jkinning]

Nevermind I found it, 1-prereqs

I am using SUSE Manager to manage my SLES and RHEL hosts. I'll be sure to install all the prereq packages and see how that goes.

[cmerchant]

Thanks for your persistence on this NRPE install script for SUSE. Let us know how it works out.

[jkinning]

Well, I removed my SUSE Manager repos and re-registered with just the regular online update channels. I tried to add the SDK channels to SUSE Manager but still encountered some dependency issues. So, once I got the regular online SUSE channels added all looked good. The installation completed but my Nagios XI server was unable to communicate. Getting the Return code of 255 is out of bounds error again. When I test nmap to the machine it is closed.
PORT STATE SERVICE
5666/tcp closed nrpe

[jkinning]

Holy smokes! That was quite painful but I believe I have it going.

Some items maybe for a to-do to improve future releases for SLES is to include the necessary packages from the get go and remove the need to add the SDK channels. Also, run a check for SLES to see if lsb-release is installed and install it if not.

[cmerchant]

Glad that you finally have the NRPE agent working with SLES! We'll go ahead and close this thread. Thank you.
